The FlameStower consists of a folding metal stand, collapsible water reservoir, and protruding metal prong that slides into the flames of campfires, grills, or burners. As the prong heats, it transfers energy to a power generator, one side of which is submerged in the water bath to keep it cool. This temperature difference between the opposing surfaces generates electricity. Anywhere. At any time of day.

Setup takes less than a minute, and charging begins as soon as the reservoir is filled and the FlameStower is in place next to a fire source.

What is this, a smartphone for my smartphone? No? You mean I'm supposed to hold this Jelly, this...this...thing that's no bigger than a pack of peanut butter crackers, in my own giant manhands, and use it to talk and...

Having a chiminea in the backyard sounds so fancy. Like buying a cravat at Barney's or Tarjay. Lucky for the less fancy of us out there, this particular chiminea is made by a decidedly un-fancy-sounding company called...

The ORII Smartphone Ring combines the best of voice activation, bone conduction, James Bond, and pretending your hand is a telephone like you did as a kid. Except there's no pretending with this Kickstarter project from...
